Write a short personal reaction to the movement, photographer or term you researched. What is interesting or not interesting about the work (50 – 75 words).



I liked the abstract artwork of this artist. I liked how unique the works were created by taking pictures of random things to make abstract photos. Some of the abstract photos do a really good job of looking like recognizable objects.
